LMU Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I'm also dumbfounded that people seem to be missing the correlation between Canada's fall from dominance to the exact period of time that the Nordiques and Jets bolted for the Four Corners. Kind of a huge red flag there.Additionally, you still have the Oilers and Flames floundering in extremely inadequate arenas, one of which had to have a few dozen feet of water and mud pumped out.

If the stadium was flooded with acouple dozens of feet of mud practically the full arena would have been full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Houston Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Growing playoff bears sounds like a wonderful idea. WHY DID I NEVER THINK OF THAT?!In my case, it was playoff beers. Much easier.

Even more so when you realize the basement levels under the arena must be flooded as well. (So, among other things, the Saddledome needed a new ice plant.) Mold is another potential problem for what remains of the Saddledome's service life.

oddball Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Growing playoff bears sounds like a wonderful idea. WHY DID I NEVER THINK OF THAT?!So if I was to grow a playoff bear, would I go to Home Depot or Lowe's and would that be in the paint section or the gardening section? As far as curses, I don't believe in them. Do I believe in superstitions? Somewhat. If I'm doing something and it's working, I'll keep doing it. On the other hand if I'm doing something and it's not working, then I'll stop. I went to three Kings games and wore a different jersey to each game and they lost all three and it killed the team playing well. So I refused to go to another game or wear a jersey until Wednesday night, when I wore my Carter jersey. It will be on again tonight, but I know the reality, that what I do has no effect on what the team does. I'm doing it for the fun of it. I think it's a baseball thing (the superstition), as I played and coached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Sports and superstition go together like bread butter whether you believe in it or not. If you do, cool. If not no big deal. This world would be pretty boring if everyone had identical views so I really don't understand why people are so touchy about it on here. It was an interesting debate before everyone got a frickety y about it.Anyhow game 7 tonight! Love it when this happens between teams I'm impartial to.

dbadefense1990 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Sports and superstition go together like bread butter whether you believe in it or not. If you do, cool. If not no big deal. This world would be pretty boring if everyone had identical views so I really don't understand why people are so touchy about it on here. It was an interesting debate before everyone got a frickety y about it.Agreed. I really didn't think a topic such as "sports curses" would really be that much of a taboo subject. If you believe them, than good for you. If not, then you're OK too. It's not like curse-believers are aggressively denying the facts presented by curse-debunkers. More knowledge of the whole situation to share around for everyone.Maybe a Canadian team not acquiring the Cup is more because of economics than because of gamesmanship from an illegal stick the Hockey Gods later punished (that I'll take total fault for not knowing). But every little detail occurring to Canadian teams in the championship series since the events in 1993 have been highly coincidental, enough to render some sort of spiritual awakening. There's nothing really wrong in believing a higher power in play; it's the kind of things which make sports unique. The Bambino, Billy Goat, Billy Penn, Bela Guttmann, The Colonel, Marty McSorley...all those legendary superstitions add to the whole mystique and intrigue of sports. In most cases, more logical, reasonable and downright real-world answers truly apply to ask the question of why teams can suck for decades, but there isn't anything wrong with believing in external powers in play. There shouldn't be.P.S.: The whole 9/11 and "fluoride" conspiracies you got there going, Morgo? Yeah...you're on your own on those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
